First we need to download the Gangster Legends V2 game engine from here and extract the zip file on your local PC.

Now we have the files we need to upload them to our server, to do this we will use FTP. You can use any FTP client but for this tutorial we are using filezilla as it is cross platform compatible.

Enter your FTP details in input boxes 1, 2 and 3

Host - This is usually your websites domain name i.e. yourgame.com
Username - This is the username that we created in step 1
Password - This is the password we created in step 1
